just got my first warning from hotttspazzz

[NAOS]

I'm not certain you believe this is true. If you do, then going out of your way to publicly beef with specific moderators is obviously irrational.

What if I were to tell you that the moderator edit wasn't actually written by One Love, but was proposed by someone else and One Love just happened to hit the button? One of the dirty secrets of moderating is that actually doing the part where we have to warn or infract is like doing paperwork. It's drudgery that we try to push off on junior members.

What if I were to tell you that none of the moderators you're complaining about actually voted to warn or infract you in any way?

What if I were to tell you that, as seen from the inside, you've yet to levy any complaint or accusation that had even an ounce of merit?

I'm sure you'd just assume I was lying and ignore all that information.

I'm pretty sure this thread is harmless, and that you're over-interpreting pretty wildly.

I got a warning. I know what a warning is. I wrote about it. I referenced a mashedup name as the executor of the warning, not an individual.

I also pointed to a weird inconsistency in the redaction of text. I still find it weird.

It isn't strange to accuse any policing body of imperfectly executing its rules. They're all imperfect executors.



Look, I can continue to be misunderstood/mischaracterized here if it's helping people get out the last of their yips. Is that how it should go?

Nor is it unusual to play the victim.

Bravo NAOS.

"victim" would be another wild stretch.

I will say that I was worried when OL and JS were announced as the new mods. I thought it might be the beginning of a much more strict interpretation of the rules and when the "is this inappropriate (part2)" thread was closed I was pretty sure were were in for a whole bunch of jack booted thuggery and I overreacted.

I think it was pretty coincidental, but in the end that's all it is.

Plus, let NOAS have his fun. I don't think he's really crying over this, I think he's having some fun with it and challenging the mods to think about the way they do their job. Maybe I'm wrong though.

"The content creators..."

Bwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahajahajahajahhahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

Lol. That's rich. This site would be a lot better off with less of the "content creators".

Great stuff.

I think your warning is pretty harmless, but obviously you felt the need to complain too.

I referenced a mashedup name as the executor of the warning, not an individual.

The nature of your complaint, and its direction at particular individuals, in the context of many of your other posts in recent days, is unequivocal. You're not fooling anyone.

I also pointed to a weird inconsistency in the redaction of text. I still find it weird.

I think you (and to a certain extent Gameface) seem to have a misunderstanding of the purpose of moderation. We are not a "policing" body. We are a management body. None of us are particularly interested in scouring every post and editing them to comply strictly with written rules. That's not productive for anybody. We'll pick and choose as we see fit how to handle things as they come up. If you find that intolerable you're free to find another community on which to create your invaluable content.

Lolo. I'm surprised someone with your training will say out one side of his mouth that my actions are "unequivocal", and then say out the other side that the policing net is so loose that most things slip through. You seem to have a great grasp (at least in your own mind).

The mods (and former mods, apparently) are a pretty self-conscious group right now. That much is obvious from this thread alone. Don't talk about them, guis.



kicky, you've missed the boat on my "uneqivocal" actions. Shucks, brough.

Is this a surprise?

The moderating staff has taken a beating lately. Someone gets their hackles up over some perceived injustice and it's open season on the mods. So how should we react? I'm interested in your input here.

Fire hoses and attack dogs. That's what I would do.
